SGA
Gallinari (primarily for salary match)
2021 1st round draft pick Pick 18 Tre Mann selected by OKC
2022 1st round draft pick Pick 12 Jalen Williams selected by OKC
2025 1st round draft pick 15
2025 1st round draft pick swap to 24
2026 1st round draft pick [LAC draft position]
2028 1st pick swap with DAL
Paul George at the time was 3rd in MVP vote, but more importantly to LAC his acquisition was a requirement for Kawhi to sign with LAC.
OKC was a mid-seed (4th, 6th) playoff team and the swap for SGA/Gallinari left OKC about the same place (5th) for another year before they bottomed out for a few years to chase assets (win totals 25 equivalent, 24, 40).
Similar to what a GM might expect if a GM was to trade their superstar.
